Installing Outlook Web Access

We have MS Exchange 5.5 installed on our NT server.
How can I install Outlook Web Access on it.
I can't find it as an item on the Exchange CD.
Can I just restart the setup program ?
Since the entire company is on the exchange server I must be sure email is still working the normal way (Outlook 98 on the client stations) after installing OWA.
Could you please advice me

Your existing email system will be intact following the installation of OWA, but if you've got a lot of users accessing the server using both methods, you'll notice a significant performance hit.  

Also keep in mind that if your users will be accessing this server via the Internet, you'll probably want to either set up OWA on an existing web server at your site which already is protected by a firewall, or if that's not an option or you don't have a firewall yet, build one and place the Exchange server behind it.  You also might consider utilizing SSL for user authentication and e-mail security.
You are correct in assuming that you will need to re-run the Exchange setup.  Please be aware that OWA is very processor intensive.  If you do want to make the service available, I suggest you limit access to the HTTP protocol to only those recipients who really need the service.

You accepted a reminder as an answer. I changed the grade to 'A' and there will be a separate question for Zoplax in this TA.
